It could be the difference with the rubicon fenders. I know the front were higher but guess the back are also. The other measurements were on a sport.interesting. My Rubicon with the EVO 2.5” stage 2 plus and 25” Nitto Ridge Grapplers is taller than that from top or tire to bottom of fender. Grapplers have about 8k miles on them.
edit: I just realized the other was on a sport and mine has the taller rubicon fenders.
Front 9.75”
Rear 9.75”
No coil correction kit in use.

Can anyone tell me if the 2.5 kit leaves any rake after install and settle? If so how strong are the rear springs(do they squat with a load)? I have a small rack and hi lift in the rear which caused me to add a .75 spacer with the current setup. I want to keep some rake on my JT since most of my wheeling trips include loading up my whole family. So with tools, gear, food and every seat filled I really don't want to be squatting on the trail.

Which kit is that? Is it 2.5” front & 2.5” rear springs, or did you add a spacer up front? I’ve seen some that looked like they still had a slight rake to the front with their kit...

it's 2.5" springs front and rear. No spacers. Still a slight rake. Rear is still about 1" higher than the front when measured between the front of the sidestep vs the rear of the sidestep. I do have a 0.75" spacer and i'm considering putting it on, but not in a rush.

Cool! That tells me what i need to know... So that picture is just off-kilter a bit... It shows it leaning towards the rear. That's really good to know. Because I've got Evo 2.5" front springs to go in my JTR replacing spacers, and JKS 1.5" rear springs (to replace the 1" spacer) and slightly increase the rear. They should be shipping out soon. That means that it should sit pretty damn level, being about 1" shorter in the rear (which is what I had figured). That's what I've been trying to figure out, because some folks claim the Evo front springs are like 4.5" and not 2.5" and blah blah blah. Some pictures showed a rear-rake, some showed a front-rake, some showed nearly level. So I never could get a real grasp on what I was hoping for. Good to know that my frankenlift plan is going to work good. And if I need more, I can always add that 1" spacer to the rear (or buy a set of Evo 2.5" rear springs), and add an EVO adjustable rear track bar to straighten things out in the back.
Thanks for the info! You're a lifesaver.

Was that measurement with the same tires on, or the new 37's?
